The nationwide school-shooting phenomenon and an increase of anonymous terroristic threats against local school districts has urged Laredo officials to respond.

United ISD Police Chief Ray Garner, District Attorney Isidro Alaniz and County Attorney Marco Montemayor met Thursday at the 406th District Court to address recent shooting threats that have been increasingly circulating. Their response is a PSA, which will be used as a tool to discourage further threats, educate the community and warn perpetrators of the consequences that lie ahead.

False threats are considered a third degree felony. If convicted, individuals could face imprisonment of two to 10 years and be fined up to $10,000.

“We’re seeing an increase in the reporting of these incidents,” Montemayor said. “I don’t know if people are reporting them more or it’s actually just a higher incident rate but we’re starting to see more reports of these incidents.”

Montemayor noted that some incidents have been found to be non credible or not rising to a level of crime.

“So we rely on the school districts to implement and administer penalties,” he said.

For those incidents that do not lead to criminal charges, Garner said students will be disciplined accordingly and either suspended or sent to STEP Academy.

“Things of that sort,” Garner said. “There are consequences to these actions. Do we have a safe school? Yes. Is it the safest school? There’s no safest school. Our biggest thing is that we’ve got to take care of every one of those (threats) seriously.”

Both Laredo ISD and United ISD have experienced alleged threats against campuses. UISD, however, has been plagued with a recurrence of false threats. On Wednesday, Lyndon B. Johnson High School students were released early amid false reports that a shooting was going to take place.

Alexander High School saw significant fewer students attend school last Tuesday due to a threat that was made against the campus earlier this month. The message said that a shooting was going to happen at the high school on Feb. 13. Alexander High had a reported 70 percent attendance rate for that day.

Also last week, a male student was detained for allegedly making threats toward an LISD high school, according to Laredo police. He was detained after Laredo Crime Stoppers received a tip late Thursday indicating that a student had made a “threat of violence” toward a local school.

“It’s important to work together and collaborate with school districts and law enforcement agencies to handle all credible threats and valid threats. We need to get the message to the students that this is not a joke. People take those things seriously,” Montemayor said.
